"Hi, \nMy husband's VA Primary Care Dr. put him on medicine for neurapathy a while back. (She tries to play the role of psych, podiatrist, and probably any other specialist). So, with his on going toe problem(after screwed up surgery and pt) he was sent to a Neurologist. Well, the Neurologist immediately took him off the medicine that  his primary care dr. had him on. He said he could not believe she had him on that medicine with his history of mental health. He said that people with mental health problems have overdosed on this medicine. I think it was something equivalent to Elavil, but she had him on it for neurapathy. The neurologist also said that the dose he was on would do nothing for the neuropathy. Anyway, my question is has anyone had this happen before and what happens when one dr. goes against another both within the VA?  \nThanks, \nsbrewer "
